Magnetic Brush For Cleaning Windows: What Is It

In this article, we are going to tell you about magnetic window brushes. Let's explain what it is. Consider all the pros and cons of the fixture.

What is a magnetic brush

A magnetic brush is a simple and simple manual device, consisting of two parts: one washes the inside of the window, the other - the outside. It happens at the same time.

These brushes are made from plain or heat-resistant plastic. The cleaning elements are replaceable foam or felt sponges and a rubber scraper to remove residual water. Thanks to this, the brush washes and polishes the glass efficiently and does not leave streaks.

To prevent part of the brush that washes the outside window from accidentally falling into the street, it has a string with a ring. The ring can be held in hand or slipped over a window handle. There are models where both parts are simply connected to each other with a long cord.

Today the market offers 3 options for magnetic brushes.

• For glass up to 8 mm thick
• For single-chamber windows with glass thickness up to 24 mm
• For double-glazed windows with a maximum thickness of up to 40 mm
  Accordingly, when choosing a brush, one must take into account the thickness of the windows that it will wash. It should be understood that a device for 16 - 34 mm has a price 2 - 4 times higher than for 5 - 8 mm.

Depending on the model, the device may differ in design, shape and size. For example, with or without magnet force regulator, triangular or rectangular.

Pros and cons of magnetic brushes

Many housewives have seen the convenience of using magnetic brushes for cleaning windows. But besides the advantages, such a tool has its drawbacks. Let's consider everything in order.

Pros

Of the important advantages, the following should be noted.

• Can be used to clean large windows.
• Suitable for any modern double-glazed windows.
• Qualitatively removes dirt and dust without leaving streaks on the glass.
• Allows you to wash windows without using detergents. For a weekly or monthly wash, plain water is sufficient.
• Provides safety, because there is no need to protrude half of the case from the window to wash the outside of the glass. Ideal for fixed sash constructions.
• Allows washing both sides of the window at the same time. Washes, dries and polishes glass immediately.
• The device is compact, which means it does not take up much space in a locker or pantry.
• Replaceable sponges and rubber scrapers. If they wear out, it is sufficient to replace them with new ones, rather than completely changing the brush.
• The fixture is made of plastic, which means it will not damage the glass surface or frame.
• You can wash not only the glass, but also the window sill and frame. To do this, just use one half of the brush.
• Now let's look at the disadvantages, which are not so many.

Minuses

• One brush cannot clean windows of different thickness. Therefore, if there are different double-glazed windows at home - one- and two-chamber - then you will have to buy a separate brush for each.
• High price. Especially magnetic brushes for thick windows.
• Possible difficulties when washing hard-to-reach places. Devices can not always wash out the corners with high quality - the junction of the glass with the frame.
• If you choose the wrong brush, it will not do the job well. This happens when buying a device does not pay attention to such a parameter as the thickness of the window panes at home.
• You need to be prepared that it will not work normally the first time. Therefore, washing can take several hours to achieve the desired result.

As you can see, there are not many shortcomings. And they are not so critical. The main thing is to choose the right brush, and the corners can be manually wiped with a dry cloth or paper towel.

As for the high cost, you can always find a magnetic brush on the market that suits your price. Fortunately, the range of such inventory is now diverse. We propose to make sure of this.
